I agree about Murphy and seems Smith has had a great pre-season so far lets hope he sets off well with a brace against the pussy cats

Good sunny morning to Matt and co
I think the whole defence was not balanced properly coupled with the fact that we had no pace down either wings and a lacklustre team who seemed to have no energy
Have we sorted this out NO we still need some wingers with page and guile to unlock defences and give Matt some quality centres
I suggested Pearce so I will stick to that
Will we miss Ross well did Burnley miss Austin if we can find an adequate replacement then no I have suggested we get Burke from Brum on a free and move him inside he has guile can cross a ball and can score goals .Why not give him a try
Thed other wingers for pace see him destroy Forest in the cup Jamie Murphy 250k and an old favourite of mine Dale Jennings from Barnsley for 300k .This boy had everything when he was sold to Bayern for £1m but he was up against Ribery and Robben well I think anyone would have struggled to get in the team ahead of those two
He started very poorly at Barnsley but recently he has started to get better at 21 he could be a very inspired signing
I spoke to Oggie about him he told me that Town had tried to sign him but he wanted too much well maybe he now realises that money is not everything .
I thing that Murphy will show us how good he can be as for the crowd attendance that will depend on results and who we get through that door
Finally we must get a marque signing my nomination is............................................................................................
Guedetti a young striker with lots of talent £1.5m will get him!

Morning Mike, how are things with you pal?

Entire team last year did not blend properly. Can imagine fall outs in the dressing room and low morale.

Step in Captain Ross!!!

Can imagine the negativity grow!!!

I can only see Pearce as a Captain.

Murphy has A LOT to prove on the pitch to even be a regular.

We need a young Michael Brown / David Batty type
 
Matt I.m feeling fine unfortunately after all the hard graft the useless solicitors I appointed have thrown the towel in re Maureens claim I am made of much sterner stuff than that I have instructed them that they will not be receiving a success fee and any charges they can send me the bill I will be appointing someone who has local knowledge and is not frightened of Bradford Council someone like me!

Morning Everyone,

When looking at our four disciplines :-


Goalkeeper

Defence

Midfield

Forwards


Put them in order of strongest - weakest and compare against the squad we have at this very moment to what we had last season!!!

Morning All,

I have to say that I think you've missed out the most important discipline of all - teamwork. And I think that's where we fell down.

Why was the 'keeper weak? Was it because of a dodgy defence exposing him?

Why was the defence weak? Was it because the midfield were failing? Was it because they didn't trust the 'keeper?

Why was midfield failing? Was it because the attackers weren't dropping back effectively? Was it because the defence hoofed the ball over their heads?

Why was the attack failing? Was it because midfield/defence weren't providing sufficient opportunity for them?

The answer to the above questions is probably yes, in every case! We didn't have a team. We didn't even have effective units. We had individuals. And it really showed sometimes - a bit like watch a good old-fashioned Primary School game.

And to me, that is where BM failed. It was clear that the team was capable of winning, but only on an occasional basis, where things seemed to click. Then the unclicking kicked in, and he didn't deal with it. Didn't help that we had a load of dross in the squad, but remember that we were 5th before Xmas, so you can't use them as an excuse for one half of the season & not the other. Especially as most of them didn't get a look in anyway.

Some twitter user said he was (6th tweet BTW) and all hell broke loose on WACCOE <laugh>

Its now been laughed off, unless the Wall come in with a much bigger offer I dont think it will even be considered. Smith will be on a fairly low wage and is an up and coming player which fits in with what Cellino looks for in footballer.

No idea, WACCOE mentioned around 750k but I dont know if there is any truth to that at all. I wouldnt let him go even for double that so either its bollocks or Ollie is testing the water.

Red (barbecue pit ) near corn exchange and one in trinity

Of if you like thai food
The place in what used to be Chapeltown police staion is brilliant (its in chapel allerton and not chapeltown! they left the old police cells in and made them part of the decor. The food is top notch.

Greek food. the olive tree at rodley, chapel allerton or Headingley is v.good.
 
MTMB if you want to take the crate for a spin then Deanos Graze and Grill (JFGI) in harrogate is fantastic. on a friday/saturday night there are usually a few minor celebs or mighty whites in. You might need to book. Its like tapas but not spanish, they also do a great steak or mean burger.
 
We never had a settled squad or formation and rarely if ever had a plan B when things were going wrong, we lacked pace, passing ability and creativity, the whole squad were to blame.

We had a team captain who didn't want to be one and a manager who never had the balls to drop him when he started playing bad.

We signed Stewart and Kebe who were massive mistakes and a manager who never had the balls to admit he made a clanger and finally we had a new captain who it would seem only wanted to be captain so he could request a pay rise.

Last season was an embarrassment and I am glad to see the back of it.
